Top Rating for ...From The Underbelly
author: Dennis Halsey
"... From The Underbelly," the sophomore release from Amy Fox, moves her closer to the forefront of Female Rockers today. The release is propelled by powerful vocals and superb instrumentation. Fox blends many styles to make her own groove/rock sound. This release will appeal to those who enjoy Adult Alternative music as well as those who primarily listen to Rock and Roll. It is obvious from first listen that Fox not only loves what she does, but also does it well. The writing and production quality of the release are excellent. Comparisons between Fox and other artists leave one wanting but, if forced, I would say Amy shows the rock integrity of women like Melissa Etheridge or Joan Osborne with a more sultry voice and vocal range. This is perfect highway driving music. Just put the top down and turn up the volume. You might just as easily hear this album on Adult Contemporary Radio as well as more Rock Oriented Stations. "Time To Touch Down" is a real toe-tapper and one of the best songs on the CD. "Do It Again" has hit potential, with its catchy vocal and upbeat mood. The entire CD, when played straight through, has great movement and rises and falls at just the right times. It is hard to pick favorites on an album that plays so perfectly when taken as a whole. Songs definitely worth a listen are the ones mentioned above, as well as the acoustic tune, "Say Goodbye." Fox currently makes Austin, Texas her home. She plans a tour to support the release. "... From The Underbelly" is available on Affectagious Records at the link below. Amy is also running a year long trivia contest on her web site. Check it out at www.amyfox.com

Fox Welcomed to Elite Artist Status by The Global Muse
author: Michael Allison
Amy Fox has one of those voices that put a smile on my face as soon as I heard it. If there is anything that gets my attention, it's passion in music. Amy Fox did not disappoint here. Her smooth pop/rock style jumps around between contemporary to sultry, and never seems to short change the listener. Amy's passion shines through on every song. From heart warming to seductive, one can feel the emotion presented in every song. That is one of the main aspects of any music that I tend to look for first. Amy Fox presented this with a slight twist that I really wasn't expecting. Here voice hangs in the higher octave, but one listen to this CD and you know her range is far more potent when she's making her point in a song.
The music itself is more of a smooth rock style that is reminiscent of many of today's stars, but I can't do this music justice by labeling it with someone else's sound. Amy has created a nice groove and style for herself that contains enough originality to stand out from the crowd.
Like many of today's aspiring stars of the future, Amy incorporates several different genres into her musical style. Though mainly a pop/rock base genre, this music pretty much grabs a melody or piece of technique from almost every popular genre. Blended together to create a sound that is all her own, Amy Fox has a tight grip on her future as an influential artist. Now if every artist I reviewed put this much passion, talent, and experience into their music, I would never have to write a negative review. This music was definitely a sound for sore ears.

Amy Fox does it again.
author: Matthew Howe
Amy Fox comes on strong with her second album, ...From the Underbelly. More hard charging than her wonderful earlier release, Public Offering, it still retains the same charms - incredible vocal work, great writing, a truckload of emotion and some surprises that will literally take your breath away and have you jabbing for the skip back button. Ms. Fox has expanded her range of styles and material dramatically, but despite the record's sometimes aggressive, electric edge, it is an ultimately haunting experience. There’s just too much emotion present in the writing and presentation for this album to be taken lightly. Yet somehow, Ms. Fox does all this without sliding into it pretention. This solid, truly honest album gets a grip on your soul and refuses to let go.
